I've heard all these already, haha. I'm a HUGE music fan, I check for updates on my favorite artists daily. :P

I LOVE "That's My B****" Its obviously unfinished, but man I have a feeling the finished product is going to be amazing. It already sounds, at least to me better than some songs off of MBDTF. I wasn't really anticipating WTT that much til I heard that song.

That's my Bitch is...bananas. That beat is really raw and both Kanye and Jay-Z go in. It seems that Kanye brings out the best in Jay-Z, because I never listen to Jay tracks without Kanye on them.

Good Friday songs have been good to great but now I really want to hear this album. I can see how Runaway was pretentious at times, and I don't really like the vocals on the song either, but the video overall was pretty good.

Same here. I've noticed almost every Jay song I listen to is either Produced by or Featuring Kanye West. I sometimes think to myself, "Would Jay-Z really be so popular without Kanye West?" I mean Ye has been producing for him since 2000, and when Blueprint came out, which was heavily produced by Kanye, Jay-Z attained massive mainstream success. When they work together, they create some crazy shit though. :P

I think Kanye helps him stay "on-topic. Jay has the tendency to brag about himself or give us a history lesson, while being too wrapped up in his own flow. I really stopped listening to him for about 5 years. After Cam'Ron released "Im Not a Writer I'm a Biter" I didn't wanna listen to Jay-Z.

However this year, he has been winning me back with his verses...on Kanye tracks. His verse on So Appalled, Monster, and now That's My Bitch...he's good again. Rappers earn my respect with consistency and improvement. I thought 50 Cent was gonna end Rick Ross's career after that Corrections Officer scandal but Ross improved lyrically and production wise and now i like the fat bastard haha

I stopped caring about him when Kingdom Come came out, I thought it lacked inspiration and originality. His verses on those songs you mentioned won me back over too. Some of his best verses in years fersure, and yeah what you said about Rick Ross is true, he definitely got better.

You didn't at least like Hell of A Life? I'm just wondering, because I thought that was a song that would be enjoyed by anyone no matter what genre they like. Stadium status.
